Tiyi Wobiriwira

** ** 1. Tanthauzo ndi Maina:

• Tanthauzo: Tiyi wobiriwira ndi mtundu wa tiyi wopangidwa kuchokera ku masamba a chomera cha Camellia sinensis, omwe amakonzedwa ndi njira zochepetsera okosijeni (oxidation). Mosiyana ndi tiyi wakuda (black tea), umene umafufuzika (ferment) kwathunthu, tiyi wobiriwira amasunga mtundu wake wachilengedwe wobiriwira komanso ambiri mwazinthu zothandiza, chifukwa cha njira zokhazikitsira zimene zimalepheretsa okosijeni. Tiyi wobiriwira amadziwika ndi kukoma kwake kwatsopano, chofewa cha udzu, kuwawa pang’ono kapena kutsekemera, ndi mkhalidwe wopepuka, wotsitsimula.

• Maina ena: Lǜchá (chiChinese pinyin), Ryokucha (chiJapan romanji), Nokcha (chiKorea), Green Tea, Thé Vert (chiFrench), Grüner Tee (chiGerman), Té Verde (chiSpanish, chiItalian), Chá Verde (chiPortuguese).

• Gulu: Tiyi wosachita okosijeni, tiyi wosafufuzika, tiyi waku China, tiyi waku Japan, tiyi waku Korea (malinga ndi komwe akuchokera), tiyi wopanda caffeine (malinga ndi mtundu ndi kakonzedwe – ngakhale kuti nthawi zambiri amakhala ndi caffeine), tiyi wachilengedwe, chakumwa chothandiza thanzi.

• Etymology: Dzina loti “tiyi wobiriwira” limachokera ku mtundu wobiriwira wa masamba ndi madzi ake a mtundu uwu wa tiyi, umene umasungidwa chifukwa choletsa kachitidwe ka okosijeni komwe kamachitika mu tiyi wakuda. Dzina lachiChina la 绿茶 (lǜchá) limatanthauza kwenikweni “tiyi wobiriwira”.

2. Chiyambi ndi Mbiri:

• Chiyambi: Kwawo kwa tiyi wobiriwira amati ndi China. Mbiri ya kulima ndi kumwa tiyi ku China yapitirira zaka zikwi zingapo, ndipo tiyi wobiriwira unali mtundu woyamba wa tiyi amene anayamba kupangidwa ndi kumwedwa. Amakhulupirira kuti tiyi monga chakumwa anapezeka ku China m’zaka za m’ma 3000 BC. Nthano imagwirizanitsa kupezeka kwa tiyi ndi mfumu Shennong, amene, malinga ndi nthano, mwangozi anapeza mphamvu zolimbitsa za masamba a tiyi omwe anagwera m’madzi ake otentha.

M’masiku ano, tiyi wobiriwira akupitiriza kutchuka, makamaka pakati pa anthu amene amasamala za thanzi ndi moyo wathanzi.

3. Gwero la zomera:

• Chomera cha tiyi (Camellia sinensis): Tiyi wobiriwira amapangidwa kuchokera ku masamba a chitsamba cha tiyi (Camellia sinensis). Pali mitundu iwiri ikuluikulu ya chomera cha tiyi yomwe imagwiritsidwa ntchito popanga tiyi wobiriwira:
  • Camellia sinensis var. sinensis: Mtundu wa ku China wa chomera cha tiyi, womwe mwamwambo umagwiritsidwa ntchito popanga tiyi wobiriwira wa ku China, monga Longjing, Bi Luo Chun, Huangshan Maofeng ndi ena. Mtundu uwu nthawi zambiri umapereka tiyi wosakhwima kwambiri, wodekha komanso wonunkhira bwino.
  • Camellia sinensis var. assamica: Mtundu wa ku India wa chomera cha tiyi, ngakhale kuti umadziwika kwambiri popanga tiyi wakuda wa Assam, mitundu ina ya assamica ingagwiritsidwenso ntchito popanga tiyi wobiriwira wamphamvu ndi wodzaza. Kawirikawiri, popanga tiyi wobiriwira wachikale amagwiritsa ntchito sinensis.
• Mitundu ndi ma clones: M’kati mwa mitundu ya Camellia sinensis var. sinensis ndi assamica, pali kusiyana kwakukulu kwa mitundu ndi ma clones omwe asankhidwa kuti apititse patsogolo zokolora, mtundu, kulimbana ndi matenda ndi kusintha kukhala ndi malo osiyanasiyana a terroir. Kusankha mtundu kapena clone kumakhudza kwambiri kukoma, fungo ndi makhalidwe a tiyi wobiriwira. M’madera osiyanasiyana ndi mitundu yosiyanasiyana ya tiyi wobiriwira amagwiritsa ntchito mitundu ndi ma clones osiyanasiyana.
• Terroir: Terroir – kuphatikiza kwa nyengo, nthaka ndi malo – kumagwira ntchito yaikulu popanga mtundu ndi makhalidwe apadera a tiyi wobiriwira. Dera limene amalimako, kutalika kwa nyanja, mtundu wa nthaka, kuchuluka kwa mvula, kutentha, kuunikira – zonsezi zimakhudza kapangidwe ka masamba a tiyi ndipo, chifukwa chake, zimakhudza kukoma ndi fungo la tiyi wobiriwira womaliza. Madera otchuka opangira tiyi wobiriwira, monga Longjing ku China, Shizuoka ku Japan kapena Jeju ku Korea, amadziwika ndi terroir zawo zapadera zomwe zimapatsa tiyi wawo makhalidwe apadera.

• Malo owuma (Kofunika kuteteza ku chinyezi): Tiyi wobiriwira samalekerera chinyezi. Chinyezi chimayambitsa kuwonongeka kwa tiyi, kukula kwa nkhungu ndi kutaya mtundu. Sungani tiyi pamalo owuma, pewani kulowa kwa madzi kapena mpweya wamadzi m’chotengera cha tiyi.
• Kutali ndi mafungo amphamvu (Kofunika, popeza tiyi amatenga mafungo mosavuta): Tiyi wobiriwira amatenga mafungo achilendo mosavuta. Sungani tiyi kutali ndi zakudya zokhala ndi fungo lamphamvu (zonunkhira, khofi, zokometsera, zodzoladzola, mankhwala a pakhomo), gwiritsani ntchito chotengera chotseka bwino ndi malo apadera osungira tiyi.
• Nthawi yosungira (Tiyi wobiriwira ndi bwino kumwedwa watsopano, koma akasungidwa bwino angapitirizebe kukhala ndi makhalidwe mpaka chaka chimodzi kapena kuposerapo): Tiyi wobiriwira ndi bwino kumwedwa watsopano, m’miyezi ingapo mutakolola ndi kukonza. Popita nthawi, tiyi wobiriwira amataya pang’onopang’ono kutsitsimuka, fungo ndi ubwino wake. Akasungidwa bwino (motsekedwa bwino, pamalo ozizira, amdima ndi owuma), tiyi wobiriwira angapitirize kukhala ndi mtundu wovomerezeka kupyola chaka chimodzi kapena kuposerapo. Lembani tsiku logula kapena kukolola pachotengera ndipo yesetsani kumwa tiyiyo m’nthawi yoyenera, kuti musangalale ndi kukoma kwake koyenera ndi ubwino.

15. Mapeto:

Tiyi wobiriwira ndi chakumwa chapadera komanso chamitundumitundu chokhala ndi mbiri ndi chikhalidwe cholemera. Wodziwika ndi kukoma kwake kotsitsimula, fungo ndi ubwino wambiri wothandiza, tiyi wobiriwira ndi umodzi mwa mitundu yodziwika kwambiri komanso yofunika ya tiyi padziko lonse. Kusiyana kwakukulu kwa mitundu ndi mitundu ya tiyi wobiriwirakumapereka mwayi wopanda malire wofufuza ndi kusangalala. Kuwira ndi kusunga moyenerandikofunika kwambiri kuti mutulutse mphamvu zonse za tiyi wobiriwira. Kumwa pafupipafupi komanso moyenera tiyi wobiriwira kungakhale osati kokha gwero la chisangalalo, komanso chowonjezera chothandiza pa zakudya zanu za tsiku ndi tsiku ndi moyo, kulimbikitsa thanzi, mphamvu ndi kukhala bwino.

Pomaliza:

Tiyi wobiriwira (绿茶, lǜchá) — si chakumwa chokha, koma filosofi yonse, yoikidwa mu chikho. Kuchokera ku mphukira zofewa za masika za Longjing mpaka thovu lowala ngati emerald la Matcha, kuchokera ku kuzizira kotsitsimula kwa Sencha mpaka kutsekemera kofewa kwa Gyokuro — kumeza kulikonse kwa tiyi wobiriwira kumatulutsa kusakaniza kodabwitsa kwa kukoma ndi mafungo, kusonyeza terroir, luso la mmisiri wa tiyi ndi miyambo ya zaka mazana ambiri. Tiyi ameneyu ndi woyenera kwa iwo amene amafunafuna mphindi yabata m’chisokonezo cha tsiku, amene amayamikira mithunzi yofewa ya kukoma ndi amafuna mgwirizano wa thupi ndi mzimu. Tiyi wobiriwira umapereka chidziwitso chapadera — chomwe chimakhala cholimbitsa ndi chodekha nthawi yomweyo, chosavuta komanso chozama, chatsiku ndi tsiku komanso chamwambo.

Ulendo wopita kudziko la tiyi wobiriwira ndi ulendo wopita ku magwero a chikhalidwe cha tiyi, kumene chikho chilichonse chimakhala mlatho pakati pa miyambo yakale ndi masiku ano. Mosasamala kanthu kuti mungasankhe Bi Luo Chun (碧螺春) waku China wapamwamba, Gyokuro (玉露) waku Japan wosinkhasinkha kapena Ujeon (우전) waku Korea wofewa, tiyi wobiriwira adzakupatsani osati chisangalalo cha kukoma kokha, komanso kumverera kukhala mbali ya chikhalidwe chachikulu cha kumwa tiyi. M’nthawi ya liwiro ndi kupsinjika, tiyi wobiriwira amakhalabe malo a bata, kutikumbutsa za kufunika kwa kuzindikira, chidwi pa tsatanetsatane ndi luso lopeza kukongola m’zinthu zosavuta.
